Photography that's head and shoulders above the rest
An illuminating Experience with Blooming Lilac!
In Prince Edward County we have about two weeks of amazing colour and perfume as the miles of old Lilac hedgerows burst into bloom. A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of photographing a house that is surrounded by lilacs. Our client was really happy with the shots we captured that day, but because we can recognize the potential for a great shot, we promised go back to get the photograph when things we at there blooming best!!
And today we arrived early, very early! and set up our equipment, fired off one test shot (above) and immediately our beautiful morning sun disappeared, as if releasing the shutter had switched off the lights. Despite the forecast of perfect skies a layer of cloud had drifted rather unfortunately across the sky, hiding the sun and providing rather flat light.
it helps to be an optimist!
It would have been tempting to pack up and go back to bed! But not for polepics! Our long experience with fine art and landscape photography has taught us that great photography is often all about the light, and that means being very, very patient. We knew if we waited a small gap would eventually appear (it helps to be an optimist!) and illuminate the property, almost spotlight like.
Well we had to wait a long time, but eventually the break came and during about 5 seconds of light we managed to get our shot. Read on to see it!
